Primary Column Management Function Keys

This section provides information on the Primary Column Management function keys. These

function keys are displayed after selecting Column Management from the VISTA Functions menu.

Mark Begin

This option marks the first line for which you want totals calculated.

Mark End

This option marks the last line for which you want totals calculated.

Select Columns

This option moves the cursor to the right, highlighting the column for

which totals will be calculated. You can only calculate totals for one

column at a time. To move back (to the left), press Shift+Tab.

Create Columns

This option reformats a report by creating column breaks using whatever

line is at the top of the screen for the template for break point. This is

useful when you are downloading a report as a comma-delimited file.

Total Columns

This option calculates the totals for the selected lines and column. A

small window appears listing the total of the values, an average of these

values, and the total number of items included in the calculations.

Clear Columns

This option clears any currently existing column breaks.

Next Keys

This option displays the next set of Column Management function keys.

Previous Keys

This option returns you to the second set of Viewer function keys.
